Hence I take mpe's suggestion. Removing the print is fine. --Vaidy

Yeah we do. It should really be called FW_FEATURE_RUNNING_UNDER_PAPR_HYPERVISOR. static int __init probe_fw_features(unsigned long node, const char *uname, int depth, void *data) { .... if (!strcmp(uname, "rtas") || !strcmp(uname, "rtas@0")) { prop = of_get_flat_dt_prop(node, "ibm,hypertas-functions", &len); if (prop) { powerpc_firmware_features |= FW_FEATURE_LPAR; Qemu initialises that property unconditionally in spapr_dt_rtas(). cheers

I meant that FW_FEATURE_BEST_ENERGY is not found in KVM and we will see the print needlessly. If we have a check for phyp LPAR, then we can enable the print "H_BEST_ENERGY hcall not supported" Since the FW_FEATURE_LPAR is common for all PAPR guest (both pHyp and KVM), I agree that deleting the print is the right thing to do since we see it on both powernv and KVM where it is not supported and there is no point reporting it. --Vaidy
